Join along as we get the 1974 Mack hood prepared for paint with a lot of sanding and idea planning. With the help of Robert, we get the hood almost ready to go. Then it is time to place the radiator… with some fitment issues we have to get parts ordered and reevaluate our plan. Thanks for watching along.

I've painted lots of stuff on dirt floors just water the floors and leter rip great video
Be careful with that heater , they spew out carbon monoxide .
But it was a christmas theme paint job
All you need to do to keep the dust down while spraying is water the floor for a while before you spray to allow any air particules fall. That will keep the dust from kicking up while spraying and give you a better finish. Not perfect but better. Besides it's a farm truck.
Looks like a lot of fun
Just get a garden sprayer and spray the dirt floor with water and it will stop the dust. Works on concrete just as well
Yenko… great dog
Yanko green nose.lol
Area out to the correct size of everything
Chris you need a aflame with a chain fall
If you can't find another one take that fan to someone with a hydraulic press and straighten it. As long as it isn't cracked anywhere you should be able to fix it.
Think about converting the rust before you paint. I used concrete and metal etch which is mainly phosphoric acid. It'll convert the rust and etch the metal to help the paint stick. I did the frame on my 03 f250 before I painted it. 2 years 2 winters later the paint is still bonded and no rust behind it.
Make sure use a primer sealer….what ever paint you use….make sure add hardner to it
I prefer useing straight laquer thinner
Take the clutch off and bolt that fan blade right to the water pump
Great farming channel Duffy 👍
need to get yourself a engine crane chris make tinkering with things like the mack rad so much easier
Why not put LED headlights in, if that is prohibited in your state. The old ones are junk, so you have to replace them anyway.
Just a little tip when taking a door off should drill a little hole threw the hinge and body just makes a little guide when going back on .But going to be great to see it back on the road.Dang if we were a little closer i have a few light pole mounts i put one on my garage for my out door light big differences would have given you a couple but i'am in N.B. Canada
Always love your videos, long or short. As much of an improvement your former hoop shelter was, your current workshop is miles above that. Looking forward to many more of your wrenching and farming vids!
